I use PAC-1s and cannot for the life of me understand why anyone would buy a Westounds 420 (unless they need that cheeeeeesy microphone.)

I run 1 PAC-1 for my in-boat speakers, 1 for my sub and 1 for my tower speakers. Mine are all mounted under the dash, but I don't have to look at them to adjust them.... I also have an amp "kill-switch" mounted under there that allows me to mute everything instantly if need to talk to someone in the water or a smokey is creeping up on me.
